We visited this hotel with family. The location is good as it is centrally located, but the locality is ok. We received a warm welcome from the staff and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help us with certain things. The rooms were also very neat and clean, and the decor of the room is also lovely. Even the room service was above average. Their service is excellent. We preferred the vegetarian food here but the non-veg was also good. The breakfast was fair. All in all it was a good 3 day stay.

Room Tip: Higher floors are more airy. Order vegetarian food.

This hotel has nice decor with all the facilities a traveller needs for a short stay. Earlier during my travel to Bangalore I have stayed in five star hotels but never had time to use the pool or gym and never missed them here.Staff here is extremely nice and helpful. They even brought a weighing scale to our room and helped weigh the excess luggage. Even the trishaw(took tooks) drivers recommended by the hotel were very trustworthy and did not over charge. Only draw back was the road which was being repaired at that time. All in all this is a gem of hotel and Will stay here in my future visits.

Room Tip: Ground floor family room is good value for money

Well.. My feelings about the hotel are controversial. On the one hand it is good located, clean, with fancy rooms, the staff is hospitable and friendly. But does it all matter if one can't properly breathe in there? I mean there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in my room. At first I didn't give much attention to it but the smell didn't fade away even after I opened the window - so I spent a sleepless night trying in vain to get some fresh air through the open window. A/C didn't help either. Next day I felt as if I had been smoking all night long. I asked for another room and after checking several rooms (my room was not the only smelly one) I moved into a room on the 4 floor. Arafa Inn would be a good choice for ones who smoke and don't mind the smell. Otherwise either check your room before staying or avoid the hotel.

Room Tip: The room on the 4th floor was without smell.

I spent 2 nights here, along with three other friends of mine in this place.

positives:- clean and decent room- clean and large bathroom- polite people at the reception- no language barrier - receptionists speak english neatly- centrally located for public transport purposes- comfortable decent sized beds (no bed bugs or insects)- breakfast buffet (not too great though)- free wi fi which was decent

negatives:- hand shower (of the western closet) was leaking- room service - food from their restaurant was not all that great, try avoiding food inside as much as possible- housekeeping - they first come to take a list of things they need to change/replace etc in the room. we were all asleep when they rang the bell. so specifically we asked them to send the people for cleaning soon so we can go back and catch our nap. but unfortunately nobody turned up and the cleaning wasn't done until I'd requested them for it 2-3 times and they came late. the guy who came to clean was just one, took almost an hour to finish cleaning the whole room, had to in particular ask him to clean the bathroom, change the sheets, pillow covers, etc and when asked, he replied they changed sheets only once in two days! I really hope the sheets I used the first night there wasn't already used by someone else :'(- the place is a little hard to locate amidst so many similar lanes - especially if you're not from blore (which will be the case mostly)- though it was a family room, there were only 2 cushioned chairs, one normal chair. one of us invariably had to sit on the bed and eat.

Once when we ordered chilli paneer, there was a discrepancy in the menu card prices. chilli paneer under snacks - 90 bucks, paneer chilli under starters - 125 bucks. when I ordered, I had ordered everything from snacks only. when i looked at the bill, chilli paneer was billed 125, not 90. after explaining the problem to 3-4 different people, they finally understood what i wanted to convey and realized it was their mistake. one of the managers offered our bread omelette for free during the next day's breakfast.

Overall, the stay was pretty pleasant. everyone seemed quite friendly. It was not a bad choice, but maybe there are some better ones! I booked the room through Agoda - for Rs. 6718 for 2 nights (for the family room)

Room Tip: book in advance if you need a family room, they have only one. check if your bed sheets are clean be...
